Periodic Reporting for period 1 - Hi-Life (Damage mechanism of High Frequency Mechanical Impact (HFMI) Treated Welded Structures under Service Loading to Increase the Fatigue Life for Lightweight Design)

The use of high-strength steel (HSS) grades leads to significant weight reduction and increased service life, especially in complex-welded structures. However, their implementation is limited in practice due to the fatigue issues at welds, welds which have the same fatigue...
